la o Mokukelekahiki, e moe ana keia moo iloko ka hale, i ke poo
no piha o loko o ua hale nui nei o Mokukelekahiki, o ke kina no a me ka
huelo o ua moo nei, iloko no o ke kai.

He mea weliweli ia Mokukelekahiki ka ike ana i ua moo nei, lele aku la
oia a hiki iluna o Nuumealani, ilaila o Kaeloikamalama ke kupua nui nana
e pani ka puka o ka pea kapu o kukulu o Tahiti, kahi i hunaia'i o
Kaonohiokala.

Hai aku la o Mokukelekahiki ia Kaeloikamalama i kona ike ana i ka moo.
Ia manawa, lele aku la o Kaeloikamalama me Mokukelekahiki, mai luna mai
o Nuumealani, he aina aia i ka lewa.

Ia hiki ana mai o Mokukelekahiki ma ma ka hale e moe nei ka moo.

Ia manawa, olelo aku la o Kihanuilulumoku (ka moo) ia Kahalaomapuana, "I
hiki mai auanei keia mau kanaka e lele mai nei i o kaua nei, alaila, e
luai aku wau ia oe a kau ma ka a-i o Kaeloikamalama, a i ninau ae ia oe,
alaila, hai aku oe, he kama oe na laua, a i ninau mai i ka kaua hana i
hiki mai ai, alaila, hai aku oe."

Aole i upuupu iho mahope iho o ka laua kamailio ana, halulu ana o
Mokukelekahiki laua me Kaeloikamalama ma ka puka o ka hale.

I nana aku ka hana o ua moo nei, e ku mai ana o Kaeloikamalama me ka

kanaka nana e apo puni. Manao iho la ka moo he luku keia, aia nae e oniu

Ia manawa, hapai mai la o Kihanuilulumoku i kona huelo mailoko ae o ka

akuku nalu la i poi iloko o ka malama o Kaulua, pii ke ehu o ke kai

Ma ia wa, kau mai la ka weli ia Kaeloikamalama ma, hoomaka laua e holo
mai ke alo aku o ua moo nei.

Ia manawa, luai aku ana o Kihanuilulumoku ia Kahalaomapuana, kau ana
iluna o ka a-i o Kaeloikamalama.

Ninau ae la o Kaeloikamalama, "Nawai ke kama o oe?"

I aku la o Kahalaomapuana, "Na Mokukelekahiki, na Kaeloikamalama; na
kupua nana e malama ka pea kapu o kukulu o Tahiti."

Ninau laua, "Heaha ka huakai a kuu kama i hiki mai ai?"

Hai aku la o Kahalaomapuana, "He huakai imi Lani."

Ninau hou laua, "Imi i ka Lani owai?"

"O Kaonohiokala," wahi a Kahalaomapuana, "ka Lani kapu a Kaeloikamalama
laua o Mokukelekahiki."

Ninau hou no laua, "A loaa o Kaonohiokala, heaha ka hana?"

I aku la o Kahalaomapuana, "I kane na ke kaikamahine Alii o Hawaiiakea,
na Laieikawai, ke Haku o makou."

Ninau hou no laua "Owai oe?"
